Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread II

[lopey]

Brossoit likely resign

He will ebd up in Toronto

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

It think it needs to be both to even enter the conversation. I guess some chance they could prefer Merkulov. Neither player is even remotely a deal breaker to me

So lysell and a 1st for an unproven player? Not a chance. Way to steep.

 

[Patdud]

He wants guaranteed time? Not a fan of that stance. He's got to be one of the 12 best forwards available to get that time. Full stop.

Thing is... I'm pretty sure he would be.

Bruins have holes at LW hed get the time, 3rd or 4th line easy.

 

[Gee Wally]

What type of player is McGroarty

Fwiw…..

 

[22Brad Park]

Well that description they gave does kind of .Not sure what kind of description they gave Krejci at the time.

He plays alot heavier then Krecji using his body alot more .The Bruins could easily use this kid and should try hard to make that trade.I am all for getting good young players on cheaper deals that have talent.

 

[Coach Parker]

My bottom 6 could be if I had to

Frederic- Coyle - Geekie
Beecher - Kastelic- Brazeau

That’s huge

Done.

Did you hear that Sweeney?! The BOTTOM SIX IS DONE! Please don't spend any more cap space there OR ON GOALIES after signing Swayman.

Signed,

Bruins fanbase

 

[DKH]

He will ebd up in Toronto

If I was Leafs he’s my guy

 

[pucksindeep92]

-Sign Lindholm
-Acquire Ehlers (pretty sure it’s been mentioned the Jets want to move on- 1 year left on contract) and McGroarty

Id look to send a few expiring contracts in the deal (obviously have to give to get as well)-

1st (25OA) + Lysell/Merkulov + Frederic (he’s due for a raise next year) and/or Geekie (same situation as Freddy) +??
For Ehlers and McGroarty

That helps you this year and gives you some options with cap space next offseason

Wouldn’t need to think twice on this one.

However, the elite move would be to see if you could get Perfetti and Mcgroarty for that same package, but a lower pick/no pick instead of our first.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

I would not mind McGroarty. Sounds like a guy the organization could use in their stable.

He is a more proven prospect than most of the choices we would have available at 25. I don't mind giving him some middle 6 time in October to give him a taste of the NHL and go from there. I want to see Lysell and Merkulov as well. Would be nice to have 1 middle 6 wing that we can cycle non-waiver prospects through. Geekie can move around to cover as necessary.

Dont think there are any barriers here other than asking price.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Lysell is a much lesser unproven player. I don't believe for a second Lysell will ever be a regular for the Bruins

 

[Patdud]

Would you deal Lohrei for McGroarty if you signed Sjkei

I get it, it’s imaginary world

Lou & myself had same answer

Bigger deal?

Lohrei+Merkulov for Perfetti+McGroarty

 

[Knight]

Frederic- Coyle - Geekie
Beecher - Kastelic- Brazeau

That’s huge

Bottom 6 beefcakes

I'm down with the thiccness

 

[UncleRico]

Under the condition sjkei is signed, I would.

 

[goldenblack]

Stamkos still not extended is spicy

 

[22Brad Park]

Under the condition sjkei is signed, I would.

I would rather keep Lohrei and get Rutger another way .Dillon is out there as a UFA and would really help add bite on backend.

 

[ranold26]

We could sign Skjei for free. So it comes down to who is more valuable: Lohrei or McGroarty?
I was taught that D for the most part are more valuable than forwards, with C and slotting being exceptions etc.
That said, I think a 1/2 D is more valuable than a 1W/2C. Not to mention that Lohrei is somewhat proven at the pro-level.
Winterpeg needs to add.

 

[loosemoose]

Signing Lindholm makes sense, but they shouldn't stop at that. I really don't like either Coyle or Zacha as 2C.

Zegras would be great value 2C trade.

 

[JCRO]

Stamkos still not extended is spicy

It is.

It also sucks Reinhart is an RFA

 

[pucksindeep92]

Got a feeling Sweeney will play it vanilla.
Lindholm. Swayman. Heinen.

Kinda hope 25OA is Letourneau unless Boisvert is available.

 

[PB37]

McGroarty steps in and takes over the DeBrusk spot. I'm in the camp he ends up as a winger.

McGroarty -- Lindholm -- Pasta

Marchand -- Poitras -- Coyle

Frederic -- Zacha -- Geekie

Beecher -- Kast -- Brazaeu

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Got a feeling Sweeney will play it vanilla.
Lindholm. Swayman. Heinen.

Kinda hope 25OA is Letourneau unless Boisvert is available.

He needs to get 2 out of 3 of center, winger, and D. Sounds like the target will be Lindholm at Center, don't know which defenseman or winger he will acquire. No way he settles for just Lindholm and Heinen.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Lindholm. Swayman. Heinen.

I’m hoping so bad they pick Letourneau. I know he likely never hits the potential but a 6’7 center that can move like that and isn’t a plugger in his own zone is almost too much to pass up in an impact C prospect starved org like the B’s currently.

McGroarty -- Lindholm -- Pasta

Marchand -- Poitras -- Coyle

Frederic -- Zacha -- Geekie

Beecher -- Kast -- Brazaeu

Not sure I mind the players, but I hate the deployment of. McGroaty on the first line? He's gotta earn that, and it will take a couple years.

Coyle, I hate Coyle as a RW.
Zacha, I want him as first line LW, not 3rd line C

 

[Drift]

McGroarty -- Lindholm -- Pasta

Marchand -- Poitras -- Coyle

Frederic -- Zacha -- Geekie

Beecher -- Kast -- Brazaeu

Looks pretty solid and realistic if we get McGroarty. I would rather Coyle as center though, he is better there than on the wing.

Coyle 3C
Zacha 1LW
Can McGroarty play RW? ha

Every NHL team will be lining up for this guy.
Let the bidding war start.
